okay, here's a thread devoted to clearing up any slang expressions that might not be immediately recognized.

if i say "good lookin", as in the below:

thanks man. good lookin.

this is short for "good looking out". it's an expression that is rather common in Philadelphia and NYC, but maybe not in Britain or Australia or even in other parts of the USA or Canada.

"good looking out" means "thanks for handling that situation" or "good work/job" -- that's the gist of it.

it is not a compliment on someone's looks. feel free to post other slang expressions and their meanings in this thread.

why not just say good job? Its shorter.

because "good job" is actually not right either... i shouldn't have used that as one of the possible definitions. its more like "thanks for covering for me on that"

and don't be so fucking ornery.

good looking means your hot lets have sex...well in aussie land it does

Why not just give a quick nod? It's even shorter and doesn't require moving as many muscles in your face.
Call me old fashioned, but I prefer the simple "thanks".

Damn Teckers.

Refers to a group of Wyoming Technical Institute students that generally come from out of state and cause a lot of trouble, most notably, dating Junior High girls.

Toss me a pop.

Refers to giving someone a soda such as a Coke or Pepsi product.

How about this one:

hot minute

Hot minute is defined as a very long time. This isn't to refer to being in a warm place for a time period of one minute.

If you haven't been somewhere or seen someone in a long time, you can refer to the time that has elapsed as a "hot minute".

Example: "He been in jail for a hot minute."

My girlfriend likes to use that term a lot. The other day, she had just gotten off the phone with an old friend that she hadn't talked with since high school and said to me, "I haven't talked to her in a hot minute!"

My natural reply was, "What the f*ck are you talking about? You were just on the phone with her.."

there are variations on this, as well.

to say "quick minute" means less time than "hot minute", but is of variable length.

or to say just "minute" can mean any where from 15 seconds to as much time as included in "quick minute"

You're straight

It's straight

or any other derivative thereof...

It means... You're all right or It's all right... Like if someone said, "Did I just break that really expensive Xbox 360 controller?" then your friend would say, "No, man... You're straight."

Which means that "no, it was already like that" or "no, you didn't do it."

break the seal

Common phrase found within bars and amongst social drinkers, small groups of friends with a fondness of watching sports, those enrolled in universities and the likes. After having a couple of drinks, one who "breaks the seal" urinates for the first time and experiences the need to urinate again every 10-30 minutes thereafter.

The seal refers to an intangible barrier of control between your bladder and going to the bathroom frequently to be relieved of pressure experienced from an enlarged bladder.

Example: "He broke the seal after his 8th beer and keeps interrupting our poker game."

There's something I've always wondered. In recent years "mad" has come to mean "extereme(ly)" as in "That was mad fun" or "He has mad money." So if someone is extremely angry, or extremely crazy, are they mad mad?

Also "diesel" has come to mean "big" and/or "powerful." so is a big, powerful truck engine a diesel diesel?

Sounds like something that would be exploited in a Zucker bros. movie.

aussies don't say "let's put another shrimp on the barbie".

a shrimp is a small person. say 5 1/2 ft is everyone is 6 ft tall, 6 ft if everyone is 6 1/2 ft.

ease up or feeze up= relax or get knoced the f*ck out

grip grease=get it done

fall back or FALL BACK=the same as ease up or freeze up

step off = the same thing as ease up or freeze up or fall back

pmchugh wrote:why not just say good job? Its shorter.

because doing a "good job" is such a foreign concept in both NYC and Philli that no one would have a frame of reference to understand the compliment.

I prefer "get the f*ck out of my face you fucking cunt"

I was reflecting on the word "piss" the other day.
In the US, when you say someone's "pissed", it means they're angry.
In the UK "pissed" means "drunk". if you were angry you'd be "pissed off".
But it's a very useful word.
You can piss "up" - i.e. drink excessively
you can piss "on" - i.e. mock or ruin
you can piss "off" - i.e. leave
you can have a "pissing contest" - i.e. display of macho-ness
you can piss "away" - i.e. waste
it can piss "down" i.e. rain heavily
you can be "a long streak of" piss, i.e tall
you can "piss yourself" - i.e. be frightened
you can be "piss-for-brains" - i.e. be stupid or have an opinion differing from mine
That's all for now, I'm sure there's more - but I gotta take a leak. Is there a good word for that?

lol thats very true ^^^

you can also "piss yourself" due to laughter.

lord voldemort wrote:good looking means your hot lets have sex...well in aussie land it does

in most of the world does babe, or at least "you are hot i wish i could have sex with you"

yes, you can piss yourself laughing - I'd missed that.

You can also

piss"about" - i.e. waste time (can be a good thing)

piss "around" -i.e. act like a fool (can be a good thing)

be pissed "about" or pissed "around", i.e. someone is wasting your time or taking you for a fool. (definitely NOT a good thing)

You can

piss "into the wind" - i.e. attempt something you have no chance of, or take on odds you cannot beat.

and of course, you can use piss as an expletive - "Oh, PISS!" or more rarely "oh, pissing hell!"

and if you don't like something, or someone's opinion you can say it "a load of old" piss.

A friend once said to me "I don't drink cider, as far as I'm concerned it's Satan's Piss". Not exactly a common saying, but I thought I'd throw it in there.
